Fort Polk in Vernon Parish is home to the U.S. Army's Joint Readiness Training Center. An Army assessment includes three staffing options under consideration for Fort Polk between now and 2020: reduce by half the number of personnel stationed there; add 1,000 personnel to the current staff of just under 11,000; or make no change in the staffing level.
